003 | Too much of a good thing

[diehardreaper]

[ Today, you are greeted with a whump and a crash... and the sound of a panicked Duskull as it floats over to check on its trainer who had apparently fallen out of bed along with his Gear. ]

...Bimey... what time is it...?

[ There's a pause though as Ronald reaches for his glasses and goes to check the time, his grogginess suddenly disappearing the minute he realizes what time -- and day -- it is. ]

Hang on... I've been asleep for HOW LONG?! That's... not right. At least I'm awake in time for Christmas...

[ And have a small grin before he ends. ]

Bit of advice for you lot: Killua's made some fantastic absinthe lollies for this month's menu... but don't have ten in one go or you might end up like me.

[ There's a blink there, one of curiosity but certainly no scorn there. ]

S'that right? Cor blimey... Your lot're just a legend where I'm from.

[ Ron, so are reapers in most worlds, gosh.

But have a momentary squint though. ]

Though... you look fairly human....

[friendyousohard]

Well, humans don't exist even in stories back in Equestria, so I guess it evens out, more or less.

[Not that Ron's exactly human himself.]

And yeah, that's the thing about this world. See, whenever anyone's brought here, they become human, no matter what they were before. It made for some... interesting times adapting.

[diehardreaper]

Yeah... that'd prolly explain things. Been feeling like I'm slowly going mad since I got here myself. Bit odd though, innit?

Awful rude too, depending who you ask.

[friendyousohard]

Well, given that people don't seem to properly die in this world, maybe they were worried you'd upset the balance in some way.

For me, I'm guessing it was just so I'd be able to properly participate. Using the gear would be a nightmare with hooves.

[diehardreaper]

Leaves me and my boss with a bit of an unscheduled holiday, the way I see it.

At least they've been considerate enough to make things easier on you lot though... whoever they happen to be.

[friendyousohard]

Well, a lot of people were dragged here in the middle of something important. At least you're in good company.

That's another interesting question without a real answer. Personally, I'm inclined to think that a few of the legendaries are working together on this, but I don't really have any proof of that.

[diehardreaper]

No luck finding answers, eh? Wager I could prolly keep my eyes peeled for anything... if we manage to find anything.

Best of British to us both on that front, then!

[friendyousohard]

We'll need it, assuming British means "luck" in this context.

Well, I'll let you go. Feel free to call me up if you find anything interesting.

[diehardreaper]

Smart lass!

And no worries. You'll be hearing from me if I do find anything worth giving a tick about. You too, alright? You know where to reach me if you need anything.
